In July 2002, President Bush formed a task force comprised of senior executives from various federal agencies to address the barrage of corporate fraud cases that surfaced in the wake of the Enron scandal. As the primary agency investigating corporate fraud, the FBI has focused its efforts on cases which involve accounting schemes, self-dealing by corporate employees, and obstruction of justice to conceal fraudulent activities from criminal and regulatory authorities.
This course will begin by reviewing the efforts being made by the President of the United States and several other federal corporate crime busting governmental bodies within the United States to prevent fraud. In addition you will be provided with some statistics regarding corporate fraud.
Next, you will be introduced to some of the common characteristics of individuals who are most likely to commit fraud and some steps that you can take to identify them.
Subsequently this course will identify the most frequently occurring types of corporate fraud and point out some processes and procedures which can be put into place in order to prevent these types of fraud from taking place.
Finally, you will be provided with several case studies which will include the type of fraud which was committed and the punishment for the act.
